Complex and intriguing aromas of candied ginger, apricot, bees wax, white
florals and Earl Grey Tea abound on the nose.
Palate
Powdery fine tannins provide a textural entry to the palate, melting away
to reveal a fine filigree of green pear, quince and orange zest before
trailing off towards a mouth-wateringly crisp yet subtly saline finish.
Vinification
The fruit for our 2024 Cross Breed was Hand picked, destemmed and
combined into a small open fermenter where it was allowed to ferment
naturally in the same fashion as our Pinot Noir. 28 days on skins with
gentle cap management has provided a fine structural tannin profile and
extraction of the characteristic orange hue from the grape skins.
Cellaring Potential
Best enjoyed while young but will age for up to 5 years if well stored.
Food Matching
Baked Salmon with green beans, broccolini, pine nuts and gremolata.
